If this only happens at work, then you can say, "Sorry, that's against my department's policy. We've had some incidents and my boss told us not to."

We let corporations take over without limit or recourse.

Walmart pays a wage to people whose job it is to help other Walmart employees apply for government assistance. That's way cheaper to Walmart than paying people more. Then the government assistance comes from the lower 90% who do pay taxes.

Minimum wage hasn't been raised in decades. It has increased a bit only in a few places.

Over half (guesstimate) of prepared food workers do not have a steady income. They rely on a few customers to tip. And very rarely have any sick time or vacation time or health benefits.

You've eaten food that has been handled by someone sick with a fever because they were highly discouraged from staying home sick.

All these police attacks on Pro-Palestine rallies are just bringing more attention that would have faded away.

And the unprovoked violent attacks will cause more people to start to question the Israel war and the US support of it. People will start to wonder why supporting normal Palestine people is an idea to attack peaceful rallies and to take away the right to protest.

Good!

Remember just a few years ago when the Republicans were crying about their vaccine status being a health issue and not wanting anyone to ask about it.

Currently installed is a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 44" blade diameter.

In a box I have a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 52" blade diameter.

Yes, the large blades will run the motor harder.

Would these two fans likely use the same motor, so that I can just swap the larger blades and leave the current motor? Or is there a high chance the motors are sized specific to their blades, and I would need to fully swap the motor to use the larger blades?

The blades appear to use the same connection.

But the ride was sponsored by Chevron from 1998-2012, and that company is pretty dedicated to poisoning small children anyway, so it was apt.

Thankfully, in 2012, Disney attracted a new sponsor, Honda, and in 2016, Honda upgraded the engines to small four-stroke engines, reducing noise and pollution significantly. However, the cars still create exhaust, which is still poisonous to the children riding behind these polluting engines. It’s also poisonous to employees, to the point where Disney pays hazard pay to employees who are assigned to staff the ride.

I'd prefer some other state to get it than Texas. If Texas is going to deny federal money for unemployment and for healthcare, then Texas doesn't deserve federal money for other good projects.

And this is coming from someone in Texas who would benefit from it.

Texas GOP governor Greg Abbott has told state employees to try to avoid federal money because it might come with strings that require treating non rich and non whites as human.

Remember when Greg Abbott had a tantrum and basically shut down the Texas-Mexico border to most road traffic and fucked over all the rest of the US who was depending on products to come from Mexico?

Let Texas feel what it would be like to secede.

When did Reddit answer to any users?

Let's stop using the word conceived and switch to fertilization.

Go up and ask a "christian" their birth date. When they tell you, say, "No, the date you were fertilized."

Then accuse them of being the only religion that constantly lies about their age to seem younger.

And tell them that vanity is a sin and they will go to hell for being vain.

So Reddit charges users to create content (paid premium or by showing ads). And then it sells that content.

Making money both going and coming.
